Well, I wouldn't say I've been well, or badly covered. I don't believe any live gigs of the Boat Band have been covered in 20 years, even though we've done a couple of thousand. But our records get reviewed, which obviously can be good bad or indifferent (depending on the reviewer or the record!). A bit of a boost would have helpful when we we were getting going, but hell, fRoots did come from Southern Rag and reflected that same hinterland. And we never played in the south, or only rarely.
We had a little feature in the Roots Salad section a couple or three years back, so that was OK.
So I think I am neither prejudiced for or against fRoots in terms of coverage of my own activities. I just think the guy works hard, covers a lot of music and musicians, and has kept going through thick and thin. Fair play to him.
